Refers to Fjellstedt and his family (five children); thanks for donation to Mrs Korck; thanks for allowing Weitbrecht to stay on the continent for so long [deputation work]; his travels to England may serve to 'lower the high tide of false divinity rolling through England by facts on the efficient labours of your truly evangelical society'; 'a visit of Mr Deerr, will, I am afraid, be a great disadvantage to the missionary spirit in Germany if the painful news received from different persons in Bengal prove to be true'; friends in Wurttemberg wish 'he might be kept back in England where a true estimation of missionary characters and dangers is more widely spread'; Harriet Dittrich should arrive in London 29 March; reports on cost of travelling expenses for missionaries in Germany and France; Schaffter's two boys are about to go to a school in Switzerland to learn their mother tongue and will then return to Wurttemberg.
